2.3.6.8 The Networking and Strict Mode Options Dialog

Use the Networking Options dialog to enable or
disable TCP/IP networking and to configure the port number that is
used to connect to the MySQL server.

TCP/IP networking is enabled by default. To disable TCP/IP
networking, uncheck the box next to the Enable TCP/IP
Networking option.

Port 3306 is used by default. To change the port used to access
MySQL, choose a new port number from the drop-down box or type a
new port number directly into the drop-down box. If the port
number you choose is in use, you are prompted to confirm your
choice of port number.

Set the Server SQL Mode to either enable or
disable strict mode. Enabling strict mode (default) makes MySQL
behave more like other database management systems. If
you run applications that rely on MySQL's old
“forgiving” behavior, make sure to either adapt those
applications or to disable strict mode. For more
information about strict mode, see Section 5.1.7, “Server SQL Modes”.
